13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” (Mammon) 14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.

What is this section saying?

Decision making and your pocketbook. Decision making and your God Define for yourself. God or money? What drives your decisions?

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

Luke 16:14-15 “The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.”

Application #2 As you plan for the day? Is God part of the equation?

Application #3 When you feel anxious or worries? Matthew 6:25 Don’t worry about your life. Food or Clothes “seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Is God truly your provider?

Application #4 With your obedience? Now

Application #5 With your first fruits? First-fruits or what’s leftovers. Proverbs 3:9-10 “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first-fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”
